I'm not sure there's much possibility of making this
work.  ODF is not a page description language, and the page breaks
should be expected to be different on different display/output devices.
 Thus this doesn't really even work across visual displays, let alone
with non-visual ones.  The kind of thing you're talking about makes
much more sense for PDF than ODF, I think.  However, there might be
room to think about a more general way of placing markers on the text for
easy references of this kind.  -- Nathaniel
